About Us

WAYO is a free-form, low-power station in Rochester, NY providing diverse and idiosyncratic arts and cultural programming. Radio broadcasting started on January 4, 2016. Its signal range covers a large part of city of Rochester and inner ring suburbs. The broadcast is also available online on this website as well as on the TuneIn Radio app.

WAYO operates as a 501(c)3 under the auspices of the Multi-Use Community Cultural Center (MuCCC). The MuCCC is a venue for live performance with a special focus on race, gender, ethnicity, and underserved performing artists in the Rochester community. The MuCCC holds the FCC license while their Board of Directors provides oversight for station operations. To learn more about the MuCCC, please visit muccc.org.
